I just had two wheels scratched up at Firestone when they put on my RE11's! It was not this bad, but they did scratch the wheel and it shows black underneath. They offered some cash off my tire bill and I accepted that. Not worth getting mine fixed. But in the OP's case they definately need to fix that. It will require filler and sanding and respraying the silver paint. They might have to feather it in, or paint the whole wheel (I doubt they will do that).

I am under the believe now since this has been happeing to me and others that this must be a normal thing? Damage and scratch wheels when installing tires? I guess most people do not care.
